Before his escape from the Death Star, a contemplative Luke Skywalker holds a stormtrooper helmet as he laments, “Alas, poor stormtrooper, I knew ye not”. Quirk has put Hamlet and Star Wars in a cement mixer with dramatic and comedic effect. Think Luke as Hamlet, R2D2 & C-3PO as Rosencrantz & Guildenstern, with direction from Yoda. For anglophiles, scifi nerds, and probably 9th grade English students.
